ACCRINGTON have snapped up New Zealander Mark Bailey as their new professional.

The 28-year-old, who plays for Northern Districts, replaces Ryan Campbell

A right handed batsman and right arm medium pacer, Bailey has appeared for the New Zealand one-day team, making his debut against Zimbabwe in the Wills International Cup.

He will be hoping to turn round the club's fortunes after they finished last season as the Lancashire League's wooden spoonists.
